Just like the one's you used at school, except these one's are new and super sharp!

These low cost wire strippers are excellent for beginners and pro's alike! Spring loaded and adjustable for cable and wire up to 3mm, everyone needs a pair! By fixing the adjustable screw to the desired length (or using the strippers free hand), they can 'strip' the PVC insulation from copper wire for prototyping, breaboarding and any other electronic project you can think of!

The following sample assumes that you're running the latest official Raspbian distribution, that you're logged in as root and that you haven't yet customized Raspbian to use SPI from a Python script. By default, the kernel module managing SPI communications is not loaded on Raspbian, so let's ensure that the 'spidev' device is available.

root@raspberrypi:/# lsmodModule                  Size  Used by  snd_bcm2835            12808  0  snd_pcm                74834  1 snd_bcm2835  snd_seq                52536  0  snd_timer              19698  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm  snd_seq_device          6300  1 snd_seq  snd                    52489  5 snd_seq_device,snd_timer,snd_seq,snd_pcm,snd_bcm2835  snd_page_alloc          4951  1 snd_pcm  

If 'spidev' device is not listed, we need to remove it from the kernel module 'blacklist' so that it's automatically loaded on the next boot:

root@raspberrypi:/# nano /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf  

Put a hash character in front of the 'blacklist spi-bcm2708' statement and save the file:

#blacklist spi-bcm2708  

then, manually load the SPI device:

root@raspberrypi:/# modprobe spidev  

The command should just complete without returning an error. Validate the list of modules:

root@raspberrypi:/# lsmod  Module                  Size  Used by  spi_bcm2708             4401  0  spidev                  5136  0  snd_bcm2835            12808  0  snd_pcm                74834  1 snd_bcm2835  snd_seq                52536  0  snd_timer              19698  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm  snd_seq_device          6300  1 snd_seq  snd                    52489  5 snd_seq_device,snd_timer,snd_seq,snd_pcm,snd_bcm2835  snd_page_alloc          4951  1 snd_pcm  

The 'spidev' device should now be available.

Next, install the 'git' package. It will be needed to install other packages from Github.

apt-get install git-core  

Install the 'python-dev' package. It will be needed to compile the 'py-spidev' package.

apt-get install python-dev  

Download and compile the 'py-spidev' package.

root@raspberrypi:/# cd /home  root@raspberrypi:/home# git clone git://github.com/doceme/py-spidev  root@raspberrypi:/home# cd py-spidev/  root@raspberrypi:/home# python setup.py install  

At this point, SPI is available from Python 2.7. Assuming that you have wired the MCP3008 to the Raspberry Pi's SPI bus using CE0 as the 'chip select' pin, you can read all eight analog inputs using the following Python script.

root@raspberrypi:/home# nano adc.py  

Paste the script below in the editor and save it.

import spidev  import time    spi = spidev.SpiDev()  spi.open(0,0)    # read SPI data from MCP3008 chip, 8 possible adc's (0 thru 7)  def readadc(adcnum):          if ((adcnum > 7) or (adcnum < 0)):                  return -1          r = spi.xfer2([1,(8 adcnum)<<4,0])          adcout = ((r[1]&3) << 8)   r[2]          return adcoutwhile True:          for adcInput in range(0,8):                  print "ADC(", adcInput,")=", readadc(adcInput)          time.sleep(1)  

To execute the script

root@raspberrypi:/home# python adc.py  

Sample output using a 10K Ohm trimpot connected to the ADC's pin 3 and all other pins pulled down to ground using a 10k resistor.

ADC( 0 )= 0  ADC( 1 )= 0  ADC( 2 )= 0  ADC( 3 )= 507  ADC( 4 )= 0  ADC( 5 )= 0  ADC( 6 )= 0  ADC( 7 )= 0
